I slung cable and chain around for a few years, It is exceptionally satisfying every time the lacing and interlacing of cable.... What is even better then that, building matching sets, as long as it is under the quantity of 10 to 12... Those orders of 250 for a sale catalog warehouse for their inventory, that is a different story. but, as much as I miss the whole process of having a high level of safety and quality control of product, dang did that occupation make an old man out of me... everyday going home with hands that just hurt and have that growning achy throbbing, was something I thought my body would tune itself for, but, after so many years and trying eat at least 50% healthy, I had to call it quits. I do miss it though. The company I worked for, they were absolutely wonderful people to work for. You can just about go to any wire rope and custom sling and chain company, and find the same natured people to work for anywhere in the USA. I speculate, that is the hiring practices or screening processes, to insure that the makers always respect that lives are on the line to the highest degree and that comes with a persons understanding and value of life itself, followed by, something you build, and it fails under normal WLL's, guess what, they can trace it back to the builder, and that measure of liability of the traceability is enough to ask God to be at your side upon every build. Good thing every unit is tested. As per the old timer rocking and rolling in this video, "what took you so long on that?"... LOL.. just kidding, well done all of you. Nice work.

Done alot of this work back in the day working cable tools in the oilfield. Splicing and setting sockets was a important part of job as a cable tool driller. Never set anything quite as large as this but did 1 inch cable down to 7/16th size. We always poured babbitt to set sockets for our particular applications other wise we did it pretty much just like this. Oh this splice is what we referred to as weaving a eye or better known as a Deadman. What we called a splice was splicing two long wire ropes together to make it longer or in some cases to cut out a bad section and splice the cable back together.
@hanginwithdaddio Жыл бұрын
What you have seen me do was a Flemish eye splice. Back in the day, we hand spliced slings, which I don't want to do anymore. I also we do long splice and short splice like you are talking about putting 2 ropes together. I have some strand laid grommets to do in the future that will be fascinating also. I gave had the order for a while but haven't had time to make them. We are 5 weeks behind on orders right now due to labor shortages.

O’l Uncle Jesse would still outwork more than half the lazy kids that come through my rigging shop I work at. Nice work. Still don’t understand why you make the eyes with such long tails and then cut them to the sleeve size. Such a waste of cable. I do the old school Texas Tuck. Even the Molly Hogan you did doesn’t need tails like that.

Well send me a video of how you do it, I'm never to old to keep learning. We been doing it that way since 1971 and also we hired a rigger from Bethlehem wire rope (Williamsport) and he done it that way also, I only cut tails on thimble splices 1 1/4 up, when doing a lot of them I don't want to wear myself out nor the guys because I need them to be able to work the next day. Thank you for watching and send me a Video of your Job, I would love to see it.
